After a supposed positive talk on Wednesday, it’s apparently Deadline day this Friday. According to Ric Bucher of ESPN.com, NBA Commissioner David Stern has stated that he will cancel the entire season if both sides don’t come close to reaching a deal by the end of this coming weekend. Stern was making reference to his stance that he does not want a shortened season and if the players believe they can negotiate later on in the year that they should know that he will not negotiate until the season was to end and it’s apparently now or never.
